Adapted from Kavita Puri’s acclaimed book.
A love letter to the Golden Age of Hollywood and Hammer Horror.
When Doctor Roy Earle, a renowned American parapsychologist famous for discrediting hauntings and exposing fake mediums, accepts an invitation to attend a seance at ‘the most haunted building in England’ - the Blaine Manor of the title - he finds himself, along with his companions for the evening, temporarily cut off from the outside world by a raging storm.
And as every lover of the ghost/horror genre very well knows, where there’s a raging storm and a haunted house, there are also, inevitably, things that go bump in the night...
An award-winning love letter to both the Golden Age of Hollywood and the era of Hammer Horror movies here in the UK, The Haunting Of Blaine Manor is described by its publicity as the new Woman In Black - only scarier. That’s quite a claim to make, but then there are also plenty of theatre critics and audience members who would be in absolute agreement about its quality.
